Not everyone is someone who see’s the glass half full, rather than half empty. For Greg Secker, he loves to figure everything out along the way rather than before. He lives by the philosophy that you can make money anywhere you are and not just in an office somewhere.

Greg went to the university to study food science and agriculture but soon found himself looking into building and then selling computers. With the time on his hands, Greg decided that he needed to do something more with his time and energy. He went to a job fair where he ran into a guy who helped him obtain a job interview working for Thomas Cook Financial Services. Once he went to the interview, he took the job and was soon asked to work on the currency trading floor within the company. After working there for a short period of time he was asked to join the Virtual Trading Desk that became the very first online trading platform for currency. While working on this project, he was around all the traders where he learned tips and tricks to making money. Once he knew the tips, he knew he had to help others.

Once Greg started to make the amount of money he wanted from trading, he retired. While sitting in his home daily became quite boring for Greg, he attended a number of seminars. These seminars were what helped him to realize what it was that he wanted to do. Greg sat through a seminar and realized that by setting up his own seminars, he could teach others how to use his knowledge to make money.

Greg sat and taught the seminars to others who then in turn used his methods to become successful in forex trading. He wanted to make sure that others not only made money but that they felt good while making the money. Most of the other seminars that Greg went to, he noticed that people were being pumped out but without any success afterwards. His goal was to help others feel good and make money.

Greg now uses the money he makes for better purposes such as the Greg Secker Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to help young individuals learn the skills they need to be successful in life. This is something that is very important for Greg. He wants to help others as much as he can.

Recently, Preston Smith, who is the co–founder and the CEO of Rocketship Education documented an article about the education conditions for children in San Jose. Smith reports on a study conducted by the University of California and Harvard University in 2014. It was established that children born in San Jose in the 1980s and those from low-income families could still prosper as the other kids from Denmark and Canada.

According to Smith, today in San Jose, the gap between the poor and the rich has widened with high housing prices, no jobs, and there is a clear line between the wealthy and the have-nots. This condition further threatens the lives of the poor. However, Smith has high hopes that this situation in San Jose can be rectified through working together to strengthen public education system. He acknowledges that he has worked in San Jose as an educator for over 15 years and witnessed how the poor continue to get stuck in poverty. He has also seen some of his students excelling and proceeding to colleges.

The Rocketship Education which was founded by Smith is a not for profit network of the elementary public charter schools. It serves low-income students by enabling them to access good schools and transforming the poor public schools. Rocketship also empowers teachers and parents as well as inspiring the entire community.

According to Smith, San Jose’s low-income children are now benefiting from Rocketship Education that has created a good education environment for quality public schools. Those that are learning English language with the aim of making it to college are also beneficiaries of this initiative. The first school supported by Rocketship was launched in 2007. Since then, 25 more high schools that have a public charter to serve low-income communities have been developed.

Smith also reports that The Center for Research on Education Outcomes based at Stanford University conducted a study that reported that those that are learning English and those that are in poverty in San Jose get an additional learning in reading and Mathematics. More schools have also started partnering with charter schools with the aim of improving students’ achievements and preparing them for college.

The Rocketship Education charter schools are supported by business leaders including Netflix’s CEO, Reed Hastings, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook among others. Netflix donated $100 million to support local education while Zuckerberg and his wife committed some of their wealth to education and technology. Facebook’s engineers are also helping Rocketship to build a learning platform and share with other schools in the country.

The field of medicine is arguably the most important industry on the planet. This is where significant discoveries that have helped humans double their lifespan over the last 400 years have been made. So, when a doctor dedicates their entire existence to the cause of helping others, it is hard to find words to compliment them appropriately. One such individual is Dr. Clay Siegall.

Background

Dr. Siegall graduated with a Ph.D. Degree in Genetics from George Washington University. In 1998, he co-founded his company Seattle Genetics where he has been a CEO for 15 years. A description of his performance is given by the fact that his company’s stock price tripled in only five years. Furthermore, they have been a platform for Siegall to fight cancer. The research he conducted made some groundbreaking discoveries, including a creation of a new medicine.

Adcetris

Dr. Siegall led his company to the discovery of the first antibody-drug conjugates, approved by the FDA six years ago. Presently, this medicine is available to over 60 countries worldwide. His main duty throughout the process of establishing this drug was working with the FDA to get the drug approved. Another example of a job role he has undertaken was fundraising more than a billion dollars for his company.

Other Notable Achievements

By helping medicine progress, Dr. Siegall earned the University of Maryland Alumnus of the Year award in 2013.

Publications

Besides being on multiple editorial boards for large scientific journals, he has personally written over 70 peer-reviewed articles.

Finally, if Dr. Siegall was not around, cancer research and medicine might have been years behind.

Amicus Therapeutics is a biotechnology company with a global aim of identifying therapies for rare and devastating diseases. With John F. Crowley as the Chairman and CEO Amicus Therapeutics is the Leader in innovative technologies and medicines development for rare and devastating diseases. Including Lysosomal Storage Disorders and rare genetic connective tissue disorder Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The company has been in operation from 2007 when it went public under the NASDAQ trading symbol FOLD. In 2008, the company expanded to another research site in San Diego making them two.

Amicus Therapeutics has several programs managed through its development pipeline that includes Fabry Franchise (Migalastat), Epidermolysis Bullosa (SD-101), Pompe Disease (ATB200/AT2221) and other rare diseases. The first program is Fabry disease program, which has led to the development of an oral pharmacological chaperone, migalastat, for treatment of Fabry disease. Another is Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) program that is developing SD-101 for the treatment of skin blistering and lesions linked to EB.

Thirdly, there is the Pompe Disease program to develop ATB200/AT2221, which is a scheme that aims to treat the Pompe disease. The disease arises because of a deficiency of enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase, which leads to a Lysosomal Storage Disorder (LSD) and it is inheritable. Lastly is the Preclinical programs, focusing on Lysosomal Storage Disorders a unique tool set to develop Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) products for LSDs (http://alivenewspaper.com/2017/09/amicus-therapeutics-fabry-disease-treatment/). Another program within the Preclinic is the Cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5. In particular, it is a gene deficiency found on the X-chromosome that encodes the CDKL5 protein. The function of the protein is to regulate the expression of essential proteins for normal brain development.

Amicus Therapeutics does not own any manufacturing capability and so partners with other organization. The company has also received several grants from the following foundations, the Michael J.
